The Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity Watch (CeFTPIW) ranked Kaduna first in its transparency and public integrity index.
CeFTPIW is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) established in 2016 to promote good governance by strengthening transparency and accountability in public institutions.
The ranking was done for all 36 states and the federal capital territory (FCT).
Kaduna topped the 2024 index with a score of 51.42.

A statement issued by Mukhtar Ahmed, the Kaduna commissioner for planning and budget, said the state demonstrated commitment as a model of good governance and accountability under Uba Sani’s leadership.
‘”With Governor Uba Sani, the term ‘due process’ is not just a phrase that is just politically expedient but the cornerstone of his administration’s policy, programmes and projects conceptualisation and execution,’’ the statement reads.
Ahmed commended Sani for “providing leadership and dedication to the common good, especially in his efforts to transform the rural areas, complete ongoing projects, and oversee the entire infrastructural development of Kaduna state”.

He also applauded the governor’s policy of inclusion and the building of bridges of trust across the ethno-religious landscape of the state.
The commissioner said this played a role in Kaduna’s taking the top of the index.
